March 8 is International Women's Day (IWD). It’s a global day to recognize and celebrate women’s and girls’ social, economic, cultural, and political achievements. It’s also a time to highlight the progress made in advancing women’s rights and the ongoing efforts needed to ensure their full participation in all aspects of society.

At Women in Urbanism Canada, we highlight women and gender-diverse people showing exceptional leadership within the urbanism sector. In 2023, we recognized 14 exceptional women, and in 2024, we highlighted 18!

If you think yourself and/or someone you know should be recognized this year, please fill in our online form before March 5, 2025.
